@Liberty since you mentioned it,here's my favorite James Thurber quote. I couldn't check against a source. He describes a homeopath relative. His secret to longevity was to take a tablespoon of kerosene in the morning and one at night. I'm not sure if it his father or some Uncle reacting, but this the quote. "I'd rather die like a man than live like a lamp." I read that over 20 years ago , and it still makes me laugh every time.
